But it gives you a good sense of where my head has been the last few months. Take a look at it if you will. <br /><br />It's going to be rambly...<br /><br />The life of a toymaker/movie maker/anything that takes extensive planning is a strange one.<br /><br />You are forever in "not now." Literally today, I'm waiting to be able to show you the new Robo Force toy that's been in the works since (first concept drawing) October 2012 - and discussed a couple of months before that, while waiting for the first shot (first figure out of finalized tooling) of a brand-new product I haven't announced anywhere yet, while waiting for the next order of Mordles arriving next month (including my most-wanted Mordle color!) while the next sale for club members happens this Sunday while I get ready for a convention this Sunday while waiting for a call from the printer about the final piece of the club kits while brainstorming out REDACTED to answer some questions about the Mordles and the first roughs of Mordles Comic #2 (with the panel I've been waiting to see since I wrote the rough outline months ago)...<br />in addition to waiting for THAT PAGE of the new Robo Force comic to pop into my inbox...<br />while looking at the plan for the rest of the year and deciding if I have the balls to really do THAT colorway on the Mordles... #godtookthedevil<br /><br />The movies are no different. Months getting financing together. Months securing name actors. Months filming the picture. Editing stage. Waiting for distributor answers. Finalizing things they need. Waiting for the actual release. Waiting for money to come in.<br />Again, this week - finalize legal dox for some aspects of the movie. Saw "final" director's cut of APOCALYPSE KISS, a movie that probably won't see release until 2014 - by which we'll be filming a new movie. Then the making-of piece pops into my inbox - I'm featured in it somewhat. A call about a completely different project comes in...<br /><br />While all of these things have been happening, we're in TWENTY THIRTEEEN. I didn't look ahead years ago and say, "man, I bet 2013 will be the ultra shits when it gets here." And it's not, exactly.<br />But on a level I haven't experienced much before, it's the greatest year and the worst year in parallel streams. Toy company releases product/film a new project which is a quantum leap over the last one/work with a number of people that I'd always dreamed of working with (Doughty! Groman! Atkins! Kaufman!)...at the same time, the spectre of death and disease has been hovering around my circle - multiple people with cancer. Suicides impacting my friends (one just yesterday, another unconscionable loss that will never be explained) and in turn, me. Catastrophic financial failure in the lives of a few buddies. Personal issues of the highest levels that don't seem to have a lot of great resolutions possible. A feeling that a giant clock is turning, the sounds of it growing loud in my ears, counting down to...?<br /><br />I think about what the point of a blog is. Is it for me, or other people? Many blogs are essentially an online journal - but now many people can read your thoughts. Does it tell others that they are not alone. That we all have problems.<br />The last few days have been tinged with nerd anger, debate, fury, horror, and any other reaction you could think of regarding Masters of the Universe figures. I'm not going to be one to say it isn't important. It IS important. There's a tendency to marginalize others because we CAN'T STOP BEING COMPARATIVE. "C'mon bro, toys aren't important bro." You're TELLING me something, again. It plagues our entire society. "No, YOU are wrong. THIS is what you are feeling." So you play the game, you hit the people back, and then "C'mon bro. They're just toys." We've lost something essential.<br />Then again, maybe it is all manipulation. We know in the back of our minds that everything is a manipulation. Humans weren't meant to be sitting in cubicals dying inside as the poison of ignorance smashes into their frontal lobes at the speed of hate speech. A bunch of animals fought their internal programming and made up rituals that go against what their entire selves tell them to do. We were hunters, and now we hunt paperwork. When you look behind the curtain because of unhappiness and you see the machinery running the show, how do you go back to life when you know the secrets?<br /><br />http://pheydenfans.blogspot.com/2014/01/ive-ignored-you-for-too-long-personal.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (John K.)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227268532273409388.post-615738132645330843Mon, 06 Jan 2014 16:16:00 +00002014-01-06T08:23:44.311-08:00duplicationAh blog.

I can't wait for everyone to see what we've been doing.<br />But today's post is here to announce CLUB MORDLE! <br /><br /><br /> PURPOSE: <span>Club</span> <span>Mordle</span> guarantees you the chance to purchase ONE of each and every release-version <span>MORDLES</span> action figure, set, and accessory!<br /><br />HOW IT WORKS: Toyfinity Toys plans to release a number of different colored sets of <span>Mordles</span> and related products in 2013.<br />The first release will be JUNE 2013.<br />To join <span>Club</span> <span>Mordle</span>, go to the <a class="vglnk" href="http://toyfinity.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Link added by VigLink"><span>Toyfinity</span><span>.</span><span>com</span></a> store and add the <span>Club</span> <span>Mordle</span> membership to your PayPal cart. COMING SOON!<br />The cost of membership is only $10 in 2013! You'll be provided a special membership packet with your first <span>Mordles</span> product order that will evoke memories of the classic fan club kits of days gone by. There are no toy-based products included in the Club Mordle kit.<br />Members will also have the opportunity to vote on a future <span>Mordle</span> colorway, and potentially receive other exclusive information and offers.<br /><br />THE SPECIFICS: <span>Mordles</span> love to hatch in groups! But sometimes, they hatch all by themselves.<br />As such, a release may consist of one single <span>Mordle</span> figure, <span>Mordles</span> with special accessories, or multiple packs of <span>Mordles</span> in special colorways or designs.<br />The cost for each <span>Mordles</span> product will vary depending on what is included in the product - number of <span>Mordles</span>, paint decos, and so on.<br />Unlike other subscriptions, Toyfinity Toys is NOT locking you into purchasing product blindly or guaranteeing sales to Toyfinity in advance.<br />Here's how it will work:<br />- Purchase the Club Mordle membership.<br />- Toyfinity Toys will announce a product release, listing the items for sale in the specific release.<br />- <span>Club</span> <span>Mordle</span> members will be provided a link to the <span>Club</span> <span>Mordle</span> store. The beginning and expiration date for the store will be listed.<br />- Members will be allowed to make ONE and ONLY ONE purchase from the store during this time. You do not have to purchase every item! But you will only be allowed to purchase ONE of each item in the store, maximum.<br />- the <span>Club</span> <span>Mordle</span> store will close two days prior to the on-sale date.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; - No product will be held for <span>Club</span> <span>Mordle</span> members beyond that point.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; - Your <span>Mordles</span> MAY ship prior to the on-sale date, but this is not guaranteed.<br />- Toyfinity Toys reserves the right to limit Club Mordle applications with the same street address.<br /><br />FAQ<br />WHY NOT JUST DO PRE-ORDERS? Without going into the complete scenarios behind mass-production of items, at times there are products which are produced but need to be withheld from immediate sale. The last thing that we want is to solicit an item we can't deliver, for any reason.<br />WHY CAN I ONLY MAKE ONE ORDER FROM THE STORE? We'll be attempting to ship orders prior to the main on-sale date, as they are made. Allowing each <span>club</span> member to make only one order will allow for the most expedited shipping possible.<br />I WANT MORE SETS THAN ONE! That's awesome! In 2013, we are gauging the demand for Mordles product. If the demand is there, we may offer greater quantities for sale through Club Mordle in the future.<br />WHEN THE MORDLES ARE ON SALE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC, WILL THERE BE LIMITS? When the Mordles go on sale to the general public, quantities may be limited on some products. Some colors will be tagged as "immordle editions", and will have no cap on quantities available to purchase.<br />WHAT ABOUT EXCLUSIVES? In 2013, if there are any exclusive Mordle sets offered from other retailers, you will have the chance to order them through Club Mordle without issue. If Toyfinity Toys offers an exclusive at any convention in 2013, you will be offered the same chance.http://pheydenfans.blogspot.com/2013/05/where-have-i-been.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (John K.)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227268532273409388.post-642219196070211772Fri, 15 Mar 2013 04:03:00 +00002013-03-14T21:03:27.745-07:00adventure peopleGlyosspacetoyfinityFamily Portrait<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OEOAI-_wjO0/UUKc2ix4BfI/AAAAAAAADx0/mW9gFCX-oVg/s1600/Family+Portrait.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OEOAI-_wjO0/UUKc2ix4BfI/AAAAAAAADx0/mW9gFCX-oVg/s320/Family+Portrait.JPG" width="299" /></a></div>In the infinite space that toys inhabit in our imaginations, multiple stories take place.<br /><br />The great evil brain monster with claw can be your hero or your villain, alongside the hot news chick and a talking dog.<br />A soldier from space can be an undercover being sent to protect the Toxic Crusaders from the menace of Carey Mahoney and his POLICE ACADEMY.<br />Or little creatures most people see as monsters can be friendly pets to other beings.<br /><br />It's all up to you. http://pheydenfans.blogspot.com/2013/03/family-portrait.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (John K.)3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227268532273409388.post-3518421672079568569Fri, 08 Mar 2013 04:44:00 +00002013-03-07T20:44:02.964-08:00action manMAN OF ACTION~!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-siTPWUKe98c/UTlsQ2gq2AI/AAAAAAAADxk/w4q19ST4j0c/s1600/Action+Man.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-siTPWUKe98c/UTlsQ2gq2AI/AAAAAAAADxk/w4q19ST4j0c/s320/Action+Man.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Did you know Action Man continued outside the US for a number of years?<br />Meet Action Man and his friends Flynt and Redwolf!<br />I never got Action Gorilla, although I did want him in the collection.<br /><br />http://pheydenfans.blogspot.com/2013/03/man-of-action.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (John K.)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227268532273409388.post-6528237487877997550Tue, 05 Mar 2013 02:33:00 +00002013-03-04T18:33:50.491-08:00presidential monstersBack to action!
